Just curious.... (Read 1078 times)

Brenda_131577 GCU Newbies artist Posts: 32	Just curious.... Aug 5^th, 2008, 5:52am I was just curious wondering if any of you make your living at selling your greeting cards. And if you do, where else do you sell your designs. I always thought it would be super tough to make a living at just selling card and card designs. Happy Day!

I make a living selling my cards, as well as selling other products. The great thing with art is it can be used in so many different ways. I currently sell my work through GCU asnd through my own website http://www.withhugsandkisses.biz. I think it is possible to make a living through selling cards, it just takes pateince and alot of time.

Reply #2 - Aug 5^th, 2008, 11:10am I could not completely support myself on my income from my designs, but it certainly is a welcome supplement. Besides my card store here on GCU, my designs are on various products at both Zazzle and CafePress. Brenda, I just took a look at your personal website -- hugs and kisses -- what a delightful shop. Beautifully done!

Hi Delores,
That shop is accually Laura's. I have to agree it is nicely done. How do you get the cards printed to send to a buyer?
You have very simple, yet cute ideas!
